The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[engel762]

Damn, you had to remind me that I've been off my Skylanders game lately. Still trying to track down three of  the lightcore figures, myself. Fortunately, with some funds I fleeced from a couple hayseeds in some midwest backwater  , I was able to pick up a few new figures, as well as some other stuff:

Silly backwater hayseeds! err, wait....

And then there was this thing.

[Wempster]

Went out to a small flea market off the highway nearby and the wife found Snake's Revenge, Roger Clemens MVP Baseball, Bases Loaded II, and NFL QB Club for $3 for them all.  The N64 games are from the 2 retro shops in Gainesville.  $3 for Backstage Assault from Gamers HQ, and $5 for Rugrats Scavenger Hunt from R.U. Game.

Today I went in to a Goodwill I hadn't been to in a while and they had re-arranged things and had a few good deals.  I passed on the EA Sports titles they had and grabbed these 3 little guys.

I had never played Left 4 Dead before but always wanted to try it.  Having a lot of fun with it now and the best part is all 3 games were $2 a piece.  That's the best deal I've gotten from that Goodwill in a while.

Oh good, you paid off Nick's ransom.

Please be sure to get back to me on that PS2 if it isn't working properly. The post office clerk I handed this to wasn't exactly gentle with the shipping box when she dropped it in the hopper...

Headed out with my Family out of down, so I hit a bunch of thrift shops and such, started out at this little shop in Des Moines and got these for $20 total(only Dracula and the Out of this World have manuals)

[img width=700 height=524]http://s.mlpforums.com/uploads/monthly_10_2013/blogentry-6903-0-82445000-1380754075_thumb.jpg[/img]


Next I hit a place called US Pawn and Jewelry, got the DVD for $1.50 and the Fable II for $2.

[img width=700 height=524]http://s.mlpforums.com/uploads/monthly_10_2013/blogentry-6903-0-81588800-1380754251_thumb.jpg[/img]

To finish up in Des Moines I hit the local DAV(Disabled American Veterans) thrift store. I paid $.65 for the bobble-head and $1.95 each for the games.

[img width=700 height=524]http://s.mlpforums.com/uploads/monthly_10_2013/blogentry-6903-0-49090900-1380754168_thumb.jpg[/img]

On the way back we stopped in a town called Oskaloosa, got really lucky at a Goodwill here. All the games(which are complete) were like $1.20 each because it was half-off. The guide and manual were just $.89 together.

[img width=700 height=524]http://s.mlpforums.com/uploads/monthly_10_2013/blogentry-6903-0-82950200-1380754399_thumb.jpg[/img]

Stopped by a another little Pawnshop and got these(both PS2 games are complete) for $5 each. I figured the DMC was worth it just so I could play it for myself

[img width=700 height=524]http://s.mlpforums.com/uploads/monthly_10_2013/blogentry-6903-0-32168800-1380754493_thumb.jpg[/img]

And finally, grabbed this at a Family Video I stopped by on a whim(I think it's missing the manual)

[killerkobra]

Wow and I thought last month was slow but this takes the cake for the slowest month since I started collecting 3 years ago. Only 4 items….

[img width=700 height=393]http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/killerkobra/IMG_0922_zpscd9052a9.jpg[/img]

Box and Manual for Stinger and CIB SWAT Kats. Did a big trade for my bin of 4sale consoles and games to my collector buddy.

[img width=700 height=933]http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/killerkobra/photo_zps4d6bec87.jpg[/img]

This is just a generic cab with Arkanoid in it. I freaking love this game so I jumped on this for $40. Needs some minor work but its playable and fun as hell!!!

[img width=700 height=933]http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/killerkobra/phoo_zpsdd764ac8.jpg[/img]

I picked up this Donkey Kong machine from a dude that scored a whole ton of machines and jukeboxes. YES I know that Donkey Kong is Blue and this is a Donkey Kong Jr. cabinet but I had all the boards for DK and this guy had the marquee, bezel and control board. I had the boards already for DK, so it kinda just worked and came together. I still need to do some work on it.

Don't you think it weird that the marquee, bezel and control panel are all orange for Donkey Kong and the DK cabinet is blue and its the complete opposite for DK Jr. ?  The cab is orange and the marquee, bezel and control panel are blue.  Well I did so this is why I'm rocking the orange cab with the rest of the DK stuff.

[Duke.Togo]

I'd be happy to have a DK cab at all, even if it was a little frankenstiened. Nice grabs!

[Cryptid Collector]

This just came in the mail from Gamestop, I figured for $3 and free shipping it was worth giving a shot.

[GrayGhost81]

^^^ That's an awesome game you got right there.

[Cryptid Collector]

I found a mystery game in a grab bag of GBC games I picked up.
